The boys lost their first game this week. What a heartbreaker! They were behind by 10 for the entire 1st half and looked like they were on the way to victory by the end but a last minute basket put our team down by one at the final buzzer!

Week 7 of 2013
Thankfully we had one not-so-cold day this week so I was able to get some outside shots... so much more fun and better results taking basketball shots outside vs. in a gym!

Week 6 of 2013
I didn't pick up my camera much this week... all but one of the pictures below came from the weekend activities and the one exception came from my camera phone!
This weekend we celebrated the Chinese New Year by attending a festival in Richmond. We attended the same one last year and once again, it was a good time. The girls enjoyed the food, the performance, dressing up, the parade, looking at the Chinese trinkets, and doing some Chinese themed crafts. The boys? Well they enjoyed playing iPod/phone games in the back of the auditorium.
The boys had their second week of basketball. They are now 4-0.
And Monday, Brynn's GS troop had the annual food festival where they sample food from the country they are studying for an upcoming event. Last year they studied China and this year it was Iceland, a bit more challenging. Brynn made blueberry soup (top right corner). It probably would have been great over ice-cream or pancakes but as a soup, it was really sweet!

Birthday Girl... Jessa
I am hoping to start doing this with all the kids this year... I tried last year and failed but so far this year I am 1 for 1! Woo hoo! Hopefully I can keep that record past March!

Week 5 of 2013
What a busy, fun week here!
The county's Father/Daughter dance was on Friday night and this year, Doug had two dates. Brynn was so excited to wear the red dress we bought last year (clearance but a size too big then) and Nyah was equally excited to wear her blue sparkly dress (her favorite color).The picture with Jessa on the left was taken right after I stopped for a moment to fix the girls hair. Jessa decided Nyah's needed a bit more fixing.
They went out to dinner beforehand and had a great time at the dance. Brynn said it was the best night and the videos Doug took definitely show the girls having a blast. Though she was twirling alone in most of the videos, apparently Nyah led a dance train at one point. And well Brynn is Brynn... wild and funny... in one of the videos she falls on her bottom, gets up, and keep going.
And then we had a birthday... Jessa turned two, though she will tell you she is five or sometimes three. She had a Minnie Mouse birthday and loved every moment of it. I plan on doing a little photo shoot of her in her birthday dress once I get a warm or sunny day (I can't imagine I'll get both) so I'll do a Jessa post soon!
This week also marked the start of basketball season for the boys. The league they play in this year only plays five weeks. Price and Evan are on the same team, the Celtics, and were extremely excited to get back on the court. Their team won both games. Price towers over most other players and had quite a few three pointers. Evan continues to control the game on the court... probably the youngest player out there but he is so knowledgeable of what needs to happen.
The few other random pictures... the cold wind of the week took down a tree right onto the batting cage just as the preseason hitting practice needed to begin, Jessa found the polish and wanted to paint her toes, and Jessa just being silly while eating her "cheese" for lunch.
